You need to stock up on anything you use, because it won't always be in the stores. They have shown that with toilet paper, frozen foods, canned cat food, and countless other items.
The whole system may collapse, or you may just lose your job and be jobless for a few months.
Prices are increasing a lot. Buy something now, and you don't have to buy it later when the price is higher. Keep buying, and you're always ahead of inflation. It's better than putting money in the bank.
Aspie, don't you realize I know all this? I'm retired, I don't have a job. I'm certainly aware of what this inflation is doing to my fixed income plus what will happen to my savings if the monetary system collapses. I have stocked up on a lot of things, even some that might go bad that I can seal up with the vacuum sealer. If cat food starts dwindling, I'll have to buy extra and break it up into smaller amounts that fit in vacuum sealer bags. I have lots of canned.
The only thing I can't stock up on is the extremely expensive meds I have to have, so we'll see if I stay alive without them if all hell breaks loose.
Can you get the drug store to give you a three-month supply? Mine does that for me, and it saves on the deductible.
Luckily, I know I can survive without medicine, because a few years ago I couldn't afford to buy any of them for me or my wife for a couple of years. And I'm still around and feel better than I did 10 years ago.
I don't know if your town has this, but we have an organization that collects extra medicine and gives it to those who need it.
I have that on my other meds but not the expensive ones. I can't afford three months at a time of those. Plus it would throw me into the donut hole in January instead of March or April and once I go in there, I pay through the nose for everything and I never get out of the hole.
I applied for aid with these. One will give me meds after I've spent a large amount of money on meds, probably about half of the year. The other won't give it to me at all. They want to run you into abject poverty first. I said maybe I should go to Mexico and sneak across the border. Then Joe Biden would shower me with free health care.
What is this "donut hole"? I pay the same amount for meds every month throughout the year. A three-month supply costs me just a bit more than a one-month supply. It must be some other kind of insurance. I don't study it much. I just take what the government gives me.
Maybe things will get better this year.
Meanwhile, we're about to get a snow and ice storm in a couple of days.
